Methods A questionnaire was sent to 415 DH, via the "survey monkey" web page getting a response rate of 61.2% (n = 254). Results Most WRMSD symptoms referred by this group were on the neck or cervical region (52%), wrist/hand (47.8%), dorsal (45.2%), lumbar (44.5%) and shoulder (44.9%). We observed that the daily working time influences the chance of occurrence of symptoms, mainly with tasks such as root planning or polishing for the cervical symptoms (OR = 2,337; p = 0,045 and OR = 8,909; p = 0,043), root planning for the shoulder symptoms (OR = 2,758; p = 0,022) and scaling and root planning for the wrist symptoms (OR = 9,797; p = 0,032 and OR = 2,527; p = 0,029), respectively. Conclusions This study suggests that WRMSDs are a real problem among Portuguese dental hygienists that needs to be addressed for an urgent intervention in a way to lower the prevalence of these diseases and to establish preventive strategies to minimize their impact in that group of health professionals.Escola Nacional de Saúde Pública (ENSP)RUNDuarte, FátimaSerranheira, Florentino2018-03-02T23:04:53Z20152015-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article8application/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.rpsp.2014.10.003por0870-9025PURE: 1681601http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84931569679&partnerID=8YFLogxKhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.rpsp.2014.10.003info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-05-22T17:31:05Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/31587Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T17:02:12.839750Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
